PAN Files INE Complaint Accusing Sheinbaum of Illegal Propaganda Tour

The filing challenges enforcement of strict legal windows on report publicity at a tense moment for the INE.

Overview

  • PAN lawmakers, through deputy Laura Cristina Márquez Alcalá, lodged the complaint with the INE’s Electoral Contentious Unit headed by Mario Velázquez Miranda.
  • The complaint alleges President Claudia Sheinbaum turned her annual report into a personalized publicity tour using public resources, beginning September 2 and spanning more than 20 states.
  • PAN cites the LGIPE rule that limits dissemination of the presidential report to August 25 through September 6, as well as Article 134’s ban on personalized promotion.
  • The filing highlights a planned mass event in Mexico City’s Zócalo on October 5 and seeks immediate precautionary measures to suspend activities the party deems unlawful.
  • The case is under administrative review, with PAN pointing to TEPJF precedents that treat out‑of‑window report promotion as sanctionable.
